End Portal Rush
Portal rushing in Hardcore is a logistics challenge. The dragon is not the primary threat; mistakes on the way there are.
Pre-rush checklist
- Two complete gear sets per player (active + backup).
- Portable safety: blocks, water, pearls, and totems.
- Coordinates for regroup points in Overworld and Nether.
- Clear callout leader before entering stronghold sectors.
Stronghold entry discipline
- Secure room-by-room and light every retreat route.
- Do not cluster in portal room stairs; stagger positions.
- Keep one player fully outside the room for overwatch.
Rush support tools
- Build speed roads from home base to travel hubs using approved path materials: Path Speed configuration.
- Keep late-night sky travel safer with torch carry behavior: Torch & Phantom Control.
- Use proximity comms for crystal timing and dragon perch coordination: Simple Voice Chat setup.
